As of date, Post-Graduation Work Permits, 2024 have yet to be reformed with another big landmark for Canada to make its study destination an attractive location for international students.
Immigrations, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, or IRCC, published the new list that has finally cleared the issues for international students regarding which programs will make them eligible to work here after graduation, thereby further attaining the position of one among the top two destinations in education and postgraduate work.
Changes to PGWP Eligibility
According to this government news, now only the graduating students from DLIs offering eligible programs are eligible for PGWP applications. This working permit will give students invaluable work experience in Canada-the key source for some applicants in order to get permanent residency through any of the available classes, such as the Canadian Experience Class.
Eligible programs vary by institution and province. Updates further reflect the focus of the country in meeting labor market needs, continuing to prioritize sectors with shortages of skilled workers in healthcare, technology, and engineering, among others.
Benefits for International Students from PGWP
The PGWP can avail graduate students with a maximum of three years of work experience in Canada. This, in return, is achieved according to the years relating to the academic program. This is very helpful to the students who wish to make a smooth transition from studies to work since the work experience in Canada is highly rewarded in several immigration streams.
Conclusion
The country’s updated list of eligible PGWP programs exemplifies commitment to Canada in regard to the attraction of top international talent. As there is a growing number of students looking for education and career opportunities from this country, clarity and structure will become increasingly important support points for both students’ success and the state’s economic growth.
